EDGE Analysis

Okogie remained in the starting lineup against the Pelicans but came up empty on the offensive end, playing just 18 minutes. He is by no means assured of a starting spot the rest of the way and given what we saw in the victory, his playing time is going to be more in line with that of a bench player.

Okogie started at small forward and scored six points with five rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes in Wednesday's season-opening win over Houston. Okogie got the start, but head coach Chris Finch said the fifth spot in the lineup will be based on matchups, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie got the nod as Minnesota's fifth starter, but the T-Wolves plan to rotate that spot with Taurean Prince and Jarred Vanderbilt as the top options, according to Krawczynski. Okogie drew praise for his defense Wednesday and looks set to get the most playing time when the T-Wolves don't need additional size in the front court. As more of a defensive specialist, he won't add much offense for fantasy purposes.

Okogie is listed as a starter for Wednesday's season opener against the Rockets, freelance NBA reporter Dane Moore reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old started in just 37 contests out of his 59 appearances last season but is listed as a starter for Minnesota's opening game of the year. Okogie's start does confirm fellow teammate Malik Beasley will start the season off of the bench. Regardless, the Georgia Tech product will continue to split minutes amongst the likes of Beasley, Jaden McDaniels and Jarred Vanderbilt this season.
